The Breakfast Bord at Broder.

North

New updates on Broder Nord, the North Interstate outpost of Southeast Clinton's charming Scandinavian hot spot: According to co-owner Peter Bro, BroderNordwill debut in mid-November with a series of soft openings, with full service and seafood-focused dinner menu launching mid-October. The eatery will also feature a "day market" offering a selection of grab-and-go breakfast and lunch items for workers in the area, as well as signature home and kitchen goods—think cast iron pans and wooden "bords"—plus house-made products like lemon curd and lingonberry jam (move over, IKEA). 2240 N Interstate Ave.

Northeast

The Sugar Cube's brick-and-mortar bakery is now open on Northeast Alberta, with new breakfast items, Ristretto Roasters coffee service, and a packed pastry counter filled with Kir Jensen's signature sweets. Check out our opening day recap for more details and a slide show of the new space. 3039 NE Alberta Street

Southwest

Throughout the month of September, Little Bird's Bar Manager Tom Lindstedt will be showcasing the many sides of the daiquiri, offering five different versions of the classic drink to allow tipplers to order a daiquiri like they'd order a steak: the lighter option, or “rare,” features two rhums agricole—and the drinks move towards an 5-year-aged Plantation Barbados rum daiquiri for a “well done” option. 219 SW 6th Ave

Northwest

Soup and grilled cheese eatery Supa! Soup is now open in the Pearl District. The eatery offers seven signature soups daily (Monday-Saturday, 11 am to 9 pm; Sunday 11 am to 7 pm) including flavors like tomato and chevre bisque, loaded baked potato, and spicy black bean, as well as a wide array of "melties"—upscale grilled cheese sandwiches with fillings like roast beef with brie or Hatch green chilis with chipotle aioli.
